THE BLACEAETINSIAK WondsrM Tricks hj Royal Jugglers. The Siam correspondent of the New York TTorW, in n interesting letter, stntos that bt hesrd of tho sacred troupe of jugglers, and learning that thoy weresbout tacie aperfermsnce in the great Pagoda of Phnom, at Bangkok, after tnucn aimcDltw succeeded in obtaining an entmnco to the templo. We extract the following from hit graphic description of the marvolous things ho witnessed : I found, indeed, that tho prospect wst very sura tor me to see the fe.its of this mysterious fraternity. The royal family of Siam Li claimed to be nativo of Pnklaie, and his troupe nf jugglers is of the royal rneo a branch however, that only claims priestly, not imperial prerogatives. The noror porlorm in public at nil, nor in the prrsenco of witnossis nt nny time, ex cept upon two occasions. One of these is tho incremation of the dond king: tho other, the coronation of tho young king. This is repnrtod to hava been their custom from timo immemorial. I could not hour that their perf'or mances had ever been witnessed by any white man or stranger. Indeod, no one was admitted but certain branches of the Siamese nobility, hav me eiihor relutmnsbiti to Ihe rovnl blond or certain hk-rocratui nfflnitire, and certain persons saiu to be "initial-ed,"und holding high grades in a semi-religious confraternity akin to our Freemasonry in purposo perhaps, but in regard to wmcn 1 nttro norcr been alilo to get nny definite information. These privileged persons flock to the pertorraunces wbenerer. thoy take place sometimes not for a generation but in one or the other of fire ot I he grout temples or pagodas of Siam nnd Jjnos. The pagoda itself is an immense, round building with a squarotnp, like a gasometer, ana rimmeu around with a gallery supported by gigantic columns, painted a vivid red, and dashed over with a dusting of gold, giving them a peculiarly brilliant effect. Underneath this portico the building was entered by eight tall doorways, eaah grotesquely sculptured with griffons, crocodiles and serpents. Behind the building, like a pile of plates narrowing to a candle extinguisher at tbe apex, rose the characteristic boll-core of all these temples. It was ratiltiudin-ons with bells, banners, gay lanterns, bright streamers. It was elaborately, even grotesquely ornamented, gilded, colored and decorated with eurioosly-sbnpod squares of porcelain, so that it was almost too duiiling in the tun-shino to gaze at for any length of time. Atftsbaso.a forest of small pagudos clustered, (crowding up to tho very base of tho columns supporting the temple gallery. . Soondatch and Woun-Tajac, each holding ma by an arm, now directed me toward on of the doorways of tbe temple. ' It was guarded by two men with drawn swords and fierce aspect, who stood in front of a heavy drapery of red cloth that completely concealed the interior of tbe templo from outside eyes. At a triple password thtte man admitted my companions, but crossed their sworoa before my breast. Soondatch whispered io the oar of the elder he etarted, gazed at me intently, but did not withdraw his barrier. Woun showed In in a signet. He took Hand reverently placed it upon his forehead, yet stt( be refused to admit mo." There was a controversy be-tweonthe doorkeeper and companions, and at last the elder guardian whistled shrilly upon a bone pipe tied about bis neck with a strand of silk. A tall man suddenly appeared, I could not see from whonce. He wat middle-aged, athletic, and hfd a most peculiar cunning, self-possessed look of person and intelligence. "Tapada ! " exclaimed both of my companions at once, bat the man who wat naked, except for breecb-olout, took no notice oi them. He put hia band beavily, but not unkindly, upon my oreatt, gave me a ..piercing, long, look, and snid In excellent jronch, "Are yon a brave mant"-' "Try mT, 1 said. Instantly, without another word he bandaged my eyes with a part of tbo long white robe l wore ; ne mapped his fingers sodden Iv, whispering in m v ears. ('Hoi word Cor yaur lifer sad the pert moment 1 ioeind- myeelf seized fn tie bands oi several aurong men. aad born some distance along a devious way; ascending and descending; several timet.4 At hut I ' Was pat dowi, tbe baadaere) was quietly removed, and I found myself aqnatted Oo etonf floor, between Soondatch and Woun-Tajac, who, with bowed heads, and faces partly shrouded in their white robe, tqoatted like theatatuot of Bohoda, their knoee and shins flat to the ground, their haunches resting aooa their heels, their handt , Spread t alma downward anon their kaooe. their eyes deflected, and a look of de- rout revoronce and abstracted mud Until) n in Ihoircountenancos. The light was dim to my unaccustomed eyes, but all arsund, as far as I could seo, wore white-robed worshippors crouched in the same nttiuxlo of silent reverence. Stiddonly there was a wild nntl start-line crash of barbaric mimic from tin der the stago gongs, drums, rymbttlH, and horns and with wonderful alertness and a reuUy indescribable effort n band of naked men came out from behind the enrtnins, bearing each a scented torch in his hand, climbed the columns with tho agility of munkoysnnd lighted each a hundred lamps, strung from the base almost all of Itiu col-nmns alitor up to tho apex of tho mull which, I could now oc, rose in a lofty dome, that doubtloss pierced Inr UD into the intcfior of the Datrodit nronor. 1 the. nnniinriinnn nrwliich nnfaiilu T liavfl 'described.

I could distinctly trace the ascending and diminishing rings of the cupola above us, and tho rows ofbrick work, only thinly whitewashed, Unit tup - ported it. Tho din of tho horrible orchestra in- creased and a band of Did women cnmooutlrom under tho stn-e sing- ing (or rathershrioking out) The most diabolical ohantthnt I ever hoard. The rod curtain fluttered a littlo, there was a dull thud, nnd lliorc, right before lie' buh iiiuu, aim iiivi., iiii. iciuii man hut wrinkled 'with lone hair and ! man, nuiwrinxiea, wun mng niiirantii beard white as cotton fleoce. His finger-nails woro several inches long and his sunken jaws were horribly diversified wilh two long teeth, yellow and ogreish. Ho was naked except for a breech-cloth, nnd his shrunken muscles shono with oil. Ho took tho conscrin his hands and blew liis breath into it until the (lame rose twenty feet high, rod nnd furious; thn, with a suildon jerking motion, hu tossed tin burning oil toward the crowd of squatting spectators. It shot toward tnom a shower of rotts and jnpontras, more than Could have boon galhered in n cart. Turning tho censer bottom upward, ho swung it for n minute upon ihe point of his long thumb nail, then flung it disdainfully nirny toward tlm lutliunco. It atrnnk the naornn.nl with a metallic clung, bnunctd and rose, with sudden expanse of wings, a shrieking eagle, frightened horribly, and seeking flight toward tho summit ol the dome. Tho old man gazed a moment upwards, then siozing the iripod upon which tho uensur had stood, hu sunt its logs umi t with u nervous hand, siruighiuned I limn against his knee, land hurled them, dart-like, toward tho caglu. Tlicy glanced upward with a gilded flu-li, nnd instantly tho eagle caino flinterinir down to the pavement in our i.inln dead, and three horriblo cobras coil. -d about him, and lifting their hooded heads defiantly and flashing iiugnr on of their glittering eyes. The inu-ic shrieked still wilder, the snal.es c-illoil and plaited themselves together in a rhythmic dance, lifting the dead ougle. upon their heads,, and presto I right iii our midst there stood the tiipotl again, with its flickering flume and its incense-savored breath. A more por-foct illusion never was seen. 'That is Norodom," whispered Woun-Tujac in my ear. Another actor now came apon tho sconowbom I recognized to be tho tall athlete, Tepada. Behind him came a smaller man, whose name, Woun-Tajac informed me, was Minham, and a boy, probubly 12 years old, called Tsin-ki. These four began some of the most wonderful athletic exhibitions that can be conceived. It it impossible to bolievt, unless you saw it, what work these man put human museles to. I am not going to provoko the incredulity of your readors by attempting to describe tho majority of them. In one feat Tepada seized Nor odom by his long wbito beard, hold him off nt arm s length, and spun round with him until the old man's legs were horizontal to the nthloto's shoulders. Then, while they still spun with the fury of dervishes, Minbmun sprung an, aeizod Opon Norodom's feet, anu spuu out st uuriuuuii uunnnuaion of the ancient, and when Minhraun was firmly established the boy Tsin-ki cuught to his feet in like munnor, und tho tall athlete, every muscle in him training, continued to whirl the hu man join tless lever around. At last, slowing slightly, Tepada, drew in his . . .11 iT- n i .I ... i. : . - i ariun .ill iu. uiu im,i o null, uuuiu touohed his body ; there was a sudden strain, and the arm of tbe mau from being horizontal became perpendicu- Inr, Norodom's head resting atop of Topada's, Miuhman'ahend upon Noro dom's feet, and Tsinki's head on Minli- man t foet. A pauso tor breath, then tho column of men was propelled into the air, and presto! Tepada's head was on the ground, jxoroaom s leei to his, Minhmuns feet upon .Norodom a head, Tsin-ki's feet on Minhman's head. Each had turned a somersault, and the column wat unbroken I I could fill several oolutnns wilh de erriptions of the most reraarkuble and dnaccountaoie leuts 01 magic perform ed by theso wonderful jugglers, but I must retrain. Ono trick which Minh- mrin performed was a superior version of the mango tree feat of the Indian jugglers. He took an orange, cnt it open, and produced a serpent. This he took down into the audience, and, borrowing a robe from one, cut the snake's bead off and covered it with the robe. When the robe wat lifted again, a fox was in the place et tht tnnke. Tht fox's head wat eat off, two robes borrowed, , and when . they, were raisod there wat a wolf which wat killed with a oword. Throe robes, and a leopard appeared f It was slain with a javelin.

Tepada now leaped from thai sugo and alighted upon the elephant's shoulders. With a short swnrtl lie iroadod tho beast on the head until, bricking, the unwieldy animal retired upon its hind feet, twined its trunk bout nno or the great columns and seemed Irving to lift itself from -... ml. i.. 1IIO greai pillar, 1 no iniiii, rin.uvii not barharonslv, Nuradnm rlushetl forth a diiir.ling firework of some aorl, and the elophnnl had disappeared and Topada lay upon the stage writhing in lha fnhU nf n irroiit linn constrictor lind hnhlln..

I shall con - tont myself wilh describing the lust ami rnlminntini' wonder of the start ' llnre .ni Afiainninni: J A nerfecllv formed nnd most lovclv nautcli girl sprang out upon t lie stage, and was hailed with universnl exelnm- .alion of delight, everybody tailing out i I... naK.A l.,,ar..l.,l.an,, .,a;rlt..-M , a word ofgood omen. Her only dress was a short pollicnitt nf variegated ! feather work. A wreath of rosebuds I crowned her soft, short, black hnir, ' and she wore a pearl necklace, as woll ins broad gold armlets and anklets. ' n brilliant smile she danced ox- ! quisitely for some minutes to tho ac-1 i compnniment of a single pipe, then! j knelt and laid her head upon old Xr- I 0'1'""'" knee. The hoy fanned her with fan made of sweet fern leaves, Minhmnn futcliod n lotus-shaped gold-1 I . . from a quaint looking flask a fluid of; i en gooiet, anu I epauil itoin en in to it. n irrneniah hue.

I nn Tepada cxlingiished with his breath, when Norodom held tho gnhlct to I.uan-Prabnna's lips, and she drained tho contents with a sigh. As if transfigured slio suddenly sprang to her feet, j nor tace strangely railianl, ami ncgan : to spin giddily around in one spot. First tha boy, then Minlunan, then Tepada tried to arrest her, hut they no soonur touched her than she re-! pellcd thorn with a shock dial thrilled them ns il she bad imparted an electric spark to them. Spinning' constantly, with a bewildering rapid motion, the girl now sprang nil' the stage and down I t ho Hal I. along hy t lie lool ill the col- limns, THin-ki,-Minliman and tup:ul:i in active pursuit. In mid out among the crowd she spun, the three chasing.

At llif cxin'tnity nf Ihe hull the llireo surrounded and would have seized her, when, still revolving, she slowly rose in the itii-nnfl floated gently over our heads toward the slag.-, srai-teritig roses as she went. At the brink nt the stage she paused in mH-a:r; t'.on, with 11 slight wing-lilco motion of her arms, mounted iiji, up, towards Ihe lolticst arch of the vainl overheatl. Siulilonlv old Norodom seized a bow and nrniw and shot inwanl her. There was a will; shriek, a rushing boiiik), and tbo dancer full with n crash to the flags of the floor, and laid there an apparently .bloody mass. The music hurst forth into a wild wuil, and the chorus of old lings came tumiilluoiisly forth and boro-hor off in their arms. Now, from behind tho retl curtain csmo n dozen strong men, bearing on tliuir shoulders a great leaden box, which thoy laid upon the front part of the stage. As they retirod the old women camoottt, bringing a low couch, decorated with flowers and gold embroidered napory, upon which lay Lu- na-Prabana deckod forth in bridal garments, nnd sweetly sleeping. The couch with its sleeper was put quietly down upon the front of the stage and left thore, while Norodom and Tepada went to the leaden box, and with hot irons attempted to unseal it. "That is Stung-Tieng's coffin, whispered Woun tome; "tho eld saint has beon dead more than half a millenium." Quickly, eagerly it seomed to me, tho two men broke opon the fastenings of tho coffin, until the side next the audience falling out at last, a teak box was discovered. This was pried open wilh a small crowbar, and what seemed a great bundlo of nankcon taken out. Topadu and Norodom commenced to unwind this wrapping, which was very tight Yard alter yard was unwound and'foldod away by minliman, and at lost, nftor at least 100 yds of wrapping had been tnken off, tjio dry, shrivelled mummy of a emnll old man was visible eyes closed, flesh j dry and hard dead and dry as asmnk-' rl liAi-rinor. Vnrnitnni fnntiarl tbn corpse with u crowbar; and it gave af dull wooden sound. Tepuda tossud it up ana caught it, it was tun as a log. Thon be placed the mummy upon Nor odom's knees' and fetched a flask of oil, a flask of wine, und a conser burning with some pungent incense. Norodom took from his hair a little box of unguent, and prying open the month of the mummy withacolo chisel, he showed that the dry tongue could rut- tie like a chip against the dry fences. He filled tho mouth with unguent nnd closed it, and anointed the eyelids, nostrils and ears. Thon he and Tepada mixed tbe wine and oil, and carefully rubbed every part of tho body wilh it-Then, laying it down in a reclining position, they put tho burning center upon tho chest and withdrew a pace,' while tbe drums and gangs and cymbals oraahed and cluttered, and the thrill cackling treble of the chorus of old women rose hideously, A breathless paused ensued ono. two, throe minutes and the mummy sneezed, tneezed thrice to violently as to extinguish the flame censer. A moment later tbe thing aat up, and stared blinking and vacant out around tut vault aa old, old wrioKiaa man with mumbling obops, shrivelled breast and belly, and little tufta ef white hair upon his chin and forehead. Tepada approached- birnrevorentiy opon hi knees, bringifu. ajalver and wine and water-cake.

The Tribune of that cily, which is addicted to plain. speaking, says its failure is owing to its sectarian character. It is a Baptist college. Il is known as such through the whole Northwest It is begged for in Baptist churches at a Baptist institution. Its professors are liapusts, and its students are required to translate tho Greek word " baptizo". by the English word " immerse." Moreover, no sectarian col- lego is successful at tho present day. All the great colleges of tlio country such ns Harvard, 1 ale, I ornoll and the Michigan Univorsily have got bravely over this pettiness. The naughty paper has been applied to, which has only provoked it to prove what it bad said by facts. The conclusion of the whole matter is that if the University of Chicago wnnts to grow, it must unbuckle the bellybnnd. And there are several other institutions in the same predicament, to which the tame advico might nppty. iyLKMpflli An extraordinary religious-revival has been going on in the town of Malta, III, nearly half ef the population having been converted.

THE BLACEAETINSIAK WondsrM Tricks hj Royal Jugglers. The Siam correspondent of the New York TTorW, in n interesting letter, stntos that bt hesrd of tho sacred troupe of jugglers, and learning that thoy weresbout tacie aperfermsnce in the great Pagoda of Phnom, at Bangkok, after tnucn aimcDltw succeeded in obtaining an entmnco to the templo. We extract the following from hit graphic description of the marvolous things ho witnessed : I found, indeed, that tho prospect wst very sura tor me to see the fe.its of this mysterious fraternity. The royal family of Siam Li claimed to be nativo of Pnklaie, and his troupe nf jugglers is of the royal rneo a branch however, that only claims priestly, not imperial prerogatives. The noror porlorm in public at nil, nor in the prrsenco of witnossis nt nny time, ex cept upon two occasions. One of these is tho incremation of the dond king: tho other, the coronation of tho young king. This is repnrtod to hava been their custom from timo immemorial. I could not hour that their perf'or mances had ever been witnessed by any white man or stranger. Indeod, no one was admitted but certain branches of the Siamese nobility, hav me eiihor relutmnsbiti to Ihe rovnl blond or certain hk-rocratui nfflnitire, and certain persons saiu to be "initial-ed,"und holding high grades in a semi-religious confraternity akin to our Freemasonry in purposo perhaps, but in regard to wmcn 1 nttro norcr been alilo to get nny definite information. These privileged persons flock to the pertorraunces wbenerer. thoy take place sometimes not for a generation but in one or the other of fire ot I he grout temples or pagodas of Siam nnd Jjnos. The pagoda itself is an immense, round building with a squarotnp, like a gasometer, ana rimmeu around with a gallery supported by gigantic columns, painted a vivid red, and dashed over with a dusting of gold, giving them a peculiarly brilliant effect. Underneath this portico the building was entered by eight tall doorways, eaah grotesquely sculptured with griffons, crocodiles and serpents. Behind the building, like a pile of plates narrowing to a candle extinguisher at tbe apex, rose the characteristic boll-core of all these temples. It was ratiltiudin-ons with bells, banners, gay lanterns, bright streamers. It was elaborately, even grotesquely ornamented, gilded, colored and decorated with eurioosly-sbnpod squares of porcelain, so that it was almost too duiiling in the tun-shino to gaze at for any length of time. Atftsbaso.a forest of small pagudos clustered, (crowding up to tho very base of tho columns supporting the temple gallery. . Soondatch and Woun-Tajac, each holding ma by an arm, now directed me toward on of the doorways of tbe temple. ' It was guarded by two men with drawn swords and fierce aspect, who stood in front of a heavy drapery of red cloth that completely concealed the interior of tbe templo from outside eyes. At a triple password thtte man admitted my companions, but crossed their sworoa before my breast. Soondatch whispered io the oar of the elder he etarted, gazed at me intently, but did not withdraw his barrier. Woun showed In in a signet. He took Hand reverently placed it upon his forehead, yet stt( be refused to admit mo." There was a controversy be-tweonthe doorkeeper and companions, and at last the elder guardian whistled shrilly upon a bone pipe tied about bis neck with a strand of silk. A tall man suddenly appeared, I could not see from whonce. He wat middle-aged, athletic, and hfd a most peculiar cunning, self-possessed look of person and intelligence. "Tapada ! " exclaimed both of my companions at once, bat the man who wat naked, except for breecb-olout, took no notice oi them. He put hia band beavily, but not unkindly, upon my oreatt, gave me a ..piercing, long, look, and snid In excellent jronch, "Are yon a brave mant"-' "Try mT, 1 said. Instantly, without another word he bandaged my eyes with a part of tbo long white robe l wore ; ne mapped his fingers sodden Iv, whispering in m v ears.

The light was dim to my unaccustomed eyes, but all arsund, as far as I could seo, wore white-robed worshippors crouched in the same nttiuxlo of silent reverence. Stiddonly there was a wild nntl start-line crash of barbaric mimic from tin der the stago gongs, drums, rymbttlH, and horns and with wonderful alertness and a reuUy indescribable effort n band of naked men came out from behind the enrtnins, bearing each a scented torch in his hand, climbed the columns with tho agility of munkoysnnd lighted each a hundred lamps, strung from the base almost all of Itiu col-nmns alitor up to tho apex of tho mull which, I could now oc, rose in a lofty dome, that doubtloss pierced Inr UD into the intcfior of the Datrodit nronor. 1 the. nnniinriinnn nrwliich nnfaiilu T liavfl 'described.

His finger-nails woro several inches long and his sunken jaws were horribly diversified wilh two long teeth, yellow and ogreish. Ho was naked except for a breech-cloth, nnd his shrunken muscles shono with oil. Ho took tho conscrin his hands and blew liis breath into it until the (lame rose twenty feet high, rod nnd furious; thn, with a suildon jerking motion, hu tossed tin burning oil toward the crowd of squatting spectators. It shot toward tnom a shower of rotts and jnpontras, more than Could have boon galhered in n cart. Turning tho censer bottom upward, ho swung it for n minute upon ihe point of his long thumb nail, then flung it disdainfully nirny toward tlm lutliunco. It atrnnk the naornn.nl with a metallic clung, bnunctd and rose, with sudden expanse of wings, a shrieking eagle, frightened horribly, and seeking flight toward tho summit ol the dome. Tho old man gazed a moment upwards, then siozing the iripod upon which tho uensur had stood, hu sunt its logs umi t with u nervous hand, siruighiuned I limn against his knee, land hurled them, dart-like, toward tho caglu. Tlicy glanced upward with a gilded flu-li, nnd instantly tho eagle caino flinterinir down to the pavement in our i.inln dead, and three horriblo cobras coil. -d about him, and lifting their hooded heads defiantly and flashing iiugnr on of their glittering eyes. The inu-ic shrieked still wilder, the snal.es c-illoil and plaited themselves together in a rhythmic dance, lifting the dead ougle. upon their heads,, and presto I right iii our midst there stood the tiipotl again, with its flickering flume and its incense-savored breath. A more por-foct illusion never was seen. 'That is Norodom," whispered Woun-Tujac in my ear. Another actor now came apon tho sconowbom I recognized to be tho tall athlete, Tepada. Behind him came a smaller man, whose name, Woun-Tajac informed me, was Minham, and a boy, probubly 12 years old, called Tsin-ki. These four began some of the most wonderful athletic exhibitions that can be conceived. It it impossible to bolievt, unless you saw it, what work these man put human museles to. I am not going to provoko the incredulity of your readors by attempting to describe tho majority of them. In one feat Tepada seized Nor odom by his long wbito beard, hold him off nt arm s length, and spun round with him until the old man's legs were horizontal to the nthloto's shoulders. Then, while they still spun with the fury of dervishes, Minbmun sprung an, aeizod Opon Norodom's feet, anu spuu out st uuriuuuii uunnnuaion of the ancient, and when Minhraun was firmly established the boy Tsin-ki cuught to his feet in like munnor, und tho tall athlete, every muscle in him training, continued to whirl the hu man join tless lever around.

A pauso tor breath, then tho column of men was propelled into the air, and presto! Tepada's head was on the ground, jxoroaom s leei to his, Minhmuns feet upon .Norodom a head, Tsin-ki's feet on Minhman's head. Each had turned a somersault, and the column wat unbroken I I could fill several oolutnns wilh de erriptions of the most reraarkuble and dnaccountaoie leuts 01 magic perform ed by theso wonderful jugglers, but I must retrain. Ono trick which Minh- mrin performed was a superior version of the mango tree feat of the Indian jugglers. He took an orange, cnt it open, and produced a serpent. This he took down into the audience, and, borrowing a robe from one, cut the snake's bead off and covered it with the robe. When the robe wat lifted again, a fox was in the place et tht tnnke. Tht fox's head wat eat off, two robes borrowed, , and when . they, were raisod there wat a wolf which wat killed with a oword. Throe robes, and a leopard appeared f It was slain with a javelin.

Tepada now leaped from thai sugo and alighted upon the elephant's shoulders. With a short swnrtl lie iroadod tho beast on the head until, bricking, the unwieldy animal retired upon its hind feet, twined its trunk bout nno or the great columns and seemed Irving to lift itself from -... ml. i.. 1IIO greai pillar, 1 no iniiii, rin.uvii not barharonslv, Nuradnm rlushetl forth a diiir.ling firework of some aorl, and the elophnnl had disappeared and Topada lay upon the stage writhing in lha fnhU nf n irroiit linn constrictor lind hnhlln..

A wreath of rosebuds I crowned her soft, short, black hnir, ' and she wore a pearl necklace, as woll ins broad gold armlets and anklets. ' n brilliant smile she danced ox- ! quisitely for some minutes to tho ac-1 i compnniment of a single pipe, then! j knelt and laid her head upon old Xr- I 0'1'""'" knee.

As if transfigured slio suddenly sprang to her feet, j nor tace strangely railianl, ami ncgan : to spin giddily around in one spot. First tha boy, then Minlunan, then Tepada tried to arrest her, hut they no soonur touched her than she re-! pellcd thorn with a shock dial thrilled them ns il she bad imparted an electric spark to them. Spinning' constantly, with a bewildering rapid motion, the girl now sprang nil' the stage and down I t ho Hal I. along hy t lie lool ill the col- limns, THin-ki,-Minliman and tup:ul:i in active pursuit.

At the brink nt the stage she paused in mH-a:r; t'.on, with 11 slight wing-lilco motion of her arms, mounted iiji, up, towards Ihe lolticst arch of the vainl overheatl. Siulilonlv old Norodom seized a bow and nrniw and shot inwanl her. There was a will; shriek, a rushing boiiik), and tbo dancer full with n crash to the flags of the floor, and laid there an apparently .bloody mass. The music hurst forth into a wild wuil, and the chorus of old lings came tumiilluoiisly forth and boro-hor off in their arms. Now, from behind tho retl curtain csmo n dozen strong men, bearing on tliuir shoulders a great leaden box, which thoy laid upon the front part of the stage. As they retirod the old women camoottt, bringing a low couch, decorated with flowers and gold embroidered napory, upon which lay Lu- na-Prabana deckod forth in bridal garments, nnd sweetly sleeping. The couch with its sleeper was put quietly down upon the front of the stage and left thore, while Norodom and Tepada went to the leaden box, and with hot irons attempted to unseal it. "That is Stung-Tieng's coffin, whispered Woun tome; "tho eld saint has beon dead more than half a millenium." Quickly, eagerly it seomed to me, tho two men broke opon the fastenings of tho coffin, until the side next the audience falling out at last, a teak box was discovered. This was pried open wilh a small crowbar, and what seemed a great bundlo of nankcon taken out. Topadu and Norodom commenced to unwind this wrapping, which was very tight Yard alter yard was unwound and'foldod away by minliman, and at lost, nftor at least 100 yds of wrapping had been tnken off, tjio dry, shrivelled mummy of a emnll old man was visible eyes closed, flesh j dry and hard dead and dry as asmnk-' rl liAi-rinor.

Norodom took from his hair a little box of unguent, and prying open the month of the mummy withacolo chisel, he showed that the dry tongue could rut- tie like a chip against the dry fences. He filled tho mouth with unguent nnd closed it, and anointed the eyelids, nostrils and ears.

The Tribune of that cily, which is addicted to plain. speaking, says its failure is owing to its sectarian character. It is a Baptist college. Il is known as such through the whole Northwest It is begged for in Baptist churches at a Baptist institution. Its professors are liapusts, and its students are required to translate tho Greek word " baptizo". by the English word " immerse." Moreover, no sectarian col- lego is successful at tho present day. All the great colleges of tlio country such ns Harvard, 1 ale, I ornoll and the Michigan Univorsily have got bravely over this pettiness. The naughty paper has been applied to, which has only provoked it to prove what it bad said by facts. The conclusion of the whole matter is that if the University of Chicago wnnts to grow, it must unbuckle the bellybnnd. And there are several other institutions in the same predicament, to which the tame advico might nppty. iyLKMpflli An extraordinary religious-revival has been going on in the town of Malta, III, nearly half ef the population having been converted.
